Glee Christmas Episodes
Glee was a moment, it was iconic for all of the wrong reasons but that doesn’t stop many of us past gleeks from hate re-watching. That said there were good episodes, among them being the Christmas ones. So I have decided to rank the Glee Christmas episodes. These are being ranked based on musical performances, song choice and storyline.

Have a Very Disney Christmas
I think we are all aware by now that I am the christmassy of Christmas elves, so along with articles about date night Christmas movies, things that feel like winter and the best Christmas movies of all time, I am also here to help you have a very Disney Christmas. Not very many people can afford to go to Disneyland or Disney World for the Holidays but that doesn’t mean that you can’t fully immerse yourself in Disney Christmas fun.

6 Most Important Moments In The 'Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special'
Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has officially come to an end with the release of The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney Plus. For the most part, the special was just a fun, festive epilogue to cap off the first Phase of the Multiverse Saga. However, Director James Gunn has revealed that, while as fun to write as it was to watch, the Holiday Special also served a practical purpose, as he was able to use it to set up certain plot points and characters that will be important in the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, thereby saving time in that film.

The ReReadables: Nevernight
Welcome to The ReReadables! It's an occasional series where I'll talk about books I keep coming back to. Anyone who reads has books that they have read multiple times, but they keep coming back to, like visiting an old friend. I certainly have these. And each time I read them, I find something new to enjoy.

The Growth Of Rob Zombie
With the release of The Munsters, let's take a look at the impact Rob Zombie has made on the industry (all of it). I didn’t grow up with Rob Zombie the way others did with Rob Zombie. I knew of his name in movies and music, but it was just a passing thought that eventually evaporated in my mind.

Villain Personality Test: Darth Vader
His suit. His voice. His deep, labored breathing that lets you know the end is near. Darth Vader is the first and greatest Dark Lord ever to grace the silver screen. From his beginning as a Jedi to his tragic fall to evil, he's become synonymous with the fallen hero and has almost single-handedly launched the Star Wars franchise into legend. For almost 50 years, he's cast a shadow spanning all of pop culture. But how well do we really know him? What drives this dark conqueror? Is it ego? Fear? Or just sheer cruelty? Today, we will attempt what no one in the Galactic Republic ever has: we will give Darth Vader a personality test.

What Is The Funny?
Here I am on another Saturday night, staring at a screen and wondering what to do with myself. I spent most of the day at a book sale for a community organization and have just finished two separate earlier reads that I had put aside for far too long. I have also willfully sacrificed some other books for Montreal’s Livre-Service book boxes (a perfect way to contribute to public reading and a method of discovering what else is out there to cudgel the brains). As I cleaned up, I discovered some writings I had left on a shelf and wondered about for quite some time: S.J. Perlman’s New Yorker writings were there, a torn back cover and an intact front cover with the title The Rising Gorge. I had only read two or three pieces in it before abandoning it as a well-intentioned work of comedy that did not make me laugh. And now, as I attempted to read something light – Angela Carter and Mohsin Hamid were the writers I had imbibed earlier – I found the same difficulties facing me. I simply did not find it funny.

The Top 10 Controversial Cast Members Of 'My 600-lb Life'
When you tune into an episode of TLC's My 600-lb Life, you know you're in for a journey. A show centered around weight loss is no doubt going to be full of drama, hard work, and inspirational stories. But some of the stories we've gotten over 10 seasons have been a bit crazier and more dramatic than others.

The Problem When A Screenwriter writing a Screenplay for Vampire Academy
I can't get out of my mind how Julie Plea fucked up Vampire Academy screenplay, and the first season. I was mortified completely on some parts. The TV adaption and book from what I have learned are like polar opposites.
